He was the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives from 1974-1976. Do you know where the plaque that honors him is located on campus?

Competitors of The 2014 UnBULLievable Race, an annual race on USF’s Tampa Campus, began the day – April 11th – checking in for the race at the Marshall Student Center Amphitheater. At the announcer’s countdown, participants scrambled to find the start of the race, given as the coordinates 28.063382, -82.411002.

Upon arriving at the starting line at Castor Beach and receiving their set of clues, each team began to decipher and locate each task.

Teams took on mental and physical challenges across campus and even at The Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI).

The race commanded the participants to use their knowledge of USF, strength, stamina, and insight to decode clues similar to the above and complete tasks.

On discovering each location, teams were asked to complete various tasks like landing a Frisbee in a disc-golf target or properly setting a table to USF Dining specifications.

The competition included a costume contest with a prize of a $50 Gift Card. Campus Recreation held a Fan Favorite costume contest on its Facebook page. Go here and click “like” to vote for your favorite!

Teams were encouraged to arrive in costume for the race, and many did!

The finish line, located at the Bullstock concert in the SunDome parking lot, saw close finishes. When teams were convinced they had completed all tasks, they raced to cross the line before their competitors.

The winners of the race crossed the finish line just 10 seconds before the Second Place team
